U.S. researchers claim solar enegy advancePalo Alto, Calif. (UPI) Aug 2, 2010 Scientists say a new process utilizing both the light and heat of solar radiation could double the efficiency of electricity-generating solar panels. Stanford University researchers say the technology, called "photon enhanced thermionic emission," could lower the costs of solar energy production to the point where it is competitive with oil as an energy source, a university release said Monday. Unlike current solar panels, which become less efficient as temperatures, panels using the PET ... read more |

Research aims at making artificial silkWashington (UPI) Jul 30, 2010 Scientists say they are closer to learning how to make artificial silk that could bring medical and materials advances, but some obstacles remain. Researchers have determined natural silk, stronger for its weight than Kevlar or steel, is "a relatively simple protein processed from water," but exactly how spiders and silkworms produce the material is still a mystery, an article in the journal Science says. Researchers want to gain a better understanding of what silk is and how it's made, ... read more |
